Hey guys I am hoping someone can assist me. This morning when I woke up my defy would not charge. I have tried charging via my pc, ps3, and 3 wall chargers and it refuses to charge. The battery is at a very low state (around 7 percent). I am afraid if I call tmobile and/or bring it to their store and they look at it im screwed because im running CM9.
The phone is still under warranty for another few weeks, do I just chance it at this point and hope it has enough juice to flash the USA SBF and then go for warranty options or is there a fix for this?
EDIT: silly me, cant flash a SBF because my pc doesnt know my phones connected
did u try to use other usb cable ?
maybe the problem is the usb cable .
Yes all 3 chargers had different cables. My wife's LG marquee is charging fine on them
Sent from my LG-LS855 using XDA App
is it odd that without a battery in the phone I can wiggle the usb charger and my phone will boot into CM7? I thought it was odd, I kind of find it out on accident
EDIT heres the deal I can wiggle the usb end that plugs into the phone itself without a battery, and the red M logo comes up and will boot into CM7. At any time if disconnect the usb during this process, the phone turns off, If I leave the usb plugged in it continues to work. Anyone have an idea as to whats going on? It seems like it must be getting a signal from the usb cord
my friend, if you have an earlier complete recovery just boot into recovery mode the restore it. i can confirm that will solve your problem as i encountered the same problem before.
try to use an original usb cable.

Hello,
I have strange problem, since today I cannot charge my HD while its being on, when I plug in usb charger nothing happens, i tried charging through PC usb port, and nothing happens.
I cannot even establish connection with a pc, don't get 3 choice menu (active sync, hdd, and nothing) on HD when usb is plugged in.
I suspected that the usb port is defected, but when the unit is switched off, it's charging even though there is no amber led on.
It has original rom and radio in it...
Did anybody had similar problem? The phone is under warranty, should I send it for repair?
Thanks in advance.
Very weird. I would definately advise you to send it in for repair. I haven't heard of anything like this before :O.
Good luck!

Hi, I got the exactly same issue as you described today. Have you got it fixed?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks,
This has already been discussed:
Battery Not Charging
1.Hard Reset after backing up data.
2.Check if SPL/ROM mismatch - if U flashed a custom ROM or SPL.
3.Short circuiting pins in battery compartment of HD after disconnecting of power/USB and removing battery. (Don't short the battery - it may explode).
Try the solutions, if it doesn't work then go for warranty.
Too many ppl seem to have this problem and no one uses search

I did search it before and got 8-9 pages of results. I tried all the approaches but none could fix it. This guy described the exactly the same symptom I have so I really wanted to know how he ended up doing with the issue before I sent it off for warranty.
The problem right now is really on the USB connection, even in the boot loader mode, it couldn't recognize the USB but it could do it just one day before.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate if you could have some new ideas for me to try.

Have you tried updating your USB drivers?
Have you tried different usb cables?
Some of my usb cables no longer works. I believe my mini usb connector have become slightly looser and I have experienced a cable will charge the phone but won't come up with any options.
Wotth a shot.
The USB driver seems ok since I used the USB connection to flash ROMs and SPLs the day before without any problem.
As for the cables, I tried 5 or 6 total including the stock one but it didn't help.
As stated before, the only time the phone is charging is when I turn it off completely and it charges fairly quickly. However, the bottom (close to the USB end) part of the phone is very hot during the charge. If I turn it on or put it in standby mode, there is no charge or ActiveSync activity.
I have a similar problem.. My phone charges when I plug it in. But I am not presented with any options and ActiveSync doesn´t recognise the device..
same problem here
I am in the same situation. I flashed back the stock ROM, but with no USB, I am unable to put 6.5 back on....any advice is appreciated.
I sent the bad phone (Telstra T8285) back to the seller (an AUS ebayer) and he nicely sent me back a new phone but the story didn't end here. The second phone worked for one day until I plugged in my usb universal car charger. Damn, the exactly same problem happened again at the very moment I pushed in the usb connector. Now I know what the issue has been. I frankly told the seller what happened and he told me what their repair guy found about my first phone, that the fault was from reverse polarity of power supply. I was very surprised because I have been using the same car charger for my previous 3 PDA phones w/o any issues and it's still working for those devices. What's special about the Touch HD?! Does USB have different polarity specs?
Anyhow the seller said he can replace it again but I need to pay the return shipping this time.
What is baffling me is that the phone can still charge when it's off completely but can't when it's on. Does it look like hardware or software problem? Also the USB can't be recognized in the bootloader mode but it could before being faulted by the charger. Does anyone have experience on faulted connector and is there a fix besides replacing the entire motherboard?
Your help and suggestion is much appreciated. Thanks!
The Advanced config Utility has an option for "USB Charging" maybe you could install it and see if the option says yes?
also me... now i figured out what the real problem
i used my old miniusb car charger about one full day before and the same problem start with me with slight different which is charge if i keep it plug in long time...(start charging after 5 min.)
i'm really lucky by not completly dameged
this issued must be listed and get real answer from HTC compeny if the mini usb for hd is different
My problems started yesterday. When connecting the charger, the TAB just maintained the battery level and it goes into USB mode. No charging.
After trying a couple of things, I found out that it does charge when I turn the TAB off.
Trying to connect it to KIES. It shows up as unrecognized device.
Same charging problem. Charges while off, but just maintaining while one.
This made me think it was a FW problem, so I did a hard reset.
Didnt fix the problem. And if that isn't enough, the recovery mode doesn't work. I get it to boot into recovery mode, but choosing factory reset or data wipe only gives me the green droid + exclamation mark.
Any thoughts?
TL;DR: Charging works while off, doesn't work while on. Factory reset didn't fix the problem.
EDIT: I was trying to install the JMA fw, but it wouldn't connect with Odin 1.7. Still not recognized.
Hi,
i have the same problem with the charging but i don't how fix it.
As far as the charging goes are you using the supplied charger?
I have tried different USB chargers and some put the tab into USB mode and don't charge the tab.
I'm presently using a garmin-asus 1amp USB charger and is works fine.
I'm using the original charger samsung, when the tablet is off the charging works but when the table is on the charging does not increase or increase only by 1-2 percentage points.
Sounds to me like your tab is failing. Get back to your original firmware and take it back. Pretend you are a noob and you know nothing happened, and there you go, you got yourself a new tab.

Im actually on original firmware ;P Im working at the store, so getting a new one isn't a problem. It's my gfs tab, and she doesn't want to part with it just before christmas. I'm just hoping I could fix this myself. Gonna try another charger and another cable today.
EDIT: Today, it suddenly started charging again.
And it's back to not charging. I'll send it in on warranty service in 2011.
So I got my SGS4 about 8-9 weeks ago and flashed the Omega ROM. Everything was functioning perfectly up until this weekend just gone. The battery died on Friday night and then when I went to charge it on Saturday, it wouldn't charge. All that happens is the initial battery charging logo comes up, stays there for a few seconds and then reboots into the same thing, a loop (this happens charging both from a PC and from a wall outlet/power adapter).
The funny thing here is that it doesn't seem to be the port on the phone as it's recognising when something gets plugged in. I can even connect it to my PC and Odin can see it. I have borrowed a fully charged battery off a colleague and done a factory wipe/reset and flashed the stock ROM/firmware. Now I can boot in to the OS. However it still wont charge.
It seems as though the "charging" part of my phone is broken. The port seems to be functioning as the device realises when it's plugged in to either a PC or power adapter, it just wont charge.
Anyway, so I'm trying to figure out if this is a software or hardware problem before I attempt to send it back for warranty repairs.
Let me know if any further details are required. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Although the pc and odin are abe to recognize your phone....there could be dirt particles stuck inside the micro usb port....because we always carry our phones in our pockets...the lint and pieces of thread can get it....i suggest you try n clean it with a small pin....i did it to my phone...and it was much better....but please do be careful..... also try to replace your data cable with an original cable from somewhere else...because with time these cables wear out.....just try it out...good luck....hope you get your phone back to charging condition
Thanks for the recommendations guys. I tried it with the cable/charger that came with the device but there was no difference.
I'll try and give it a careful clean sadeshmagic. Cheers.
If you can find it I would suggest instead of a pin, a can of compressed air. This means no damage to the connectors as you aren't sticking anything in there and any dust/lint/crud get blown out....
Just to provide some closure on this, I got it repaired under warranty and the fpcb board was replaced. It now works fine. Thanks guys.
I have a feeling I might have a similar issue. Woke up this morning, phone dead - no indication from phone that it was charging.
Went to Sprint store and apparently, they dont sell batteries. Dude charged my battery for 20 minutes and my phone turned on, but no indication when charger plugged in that anything was happening.
Used a pin and X-acto to clean out this really gross piece of what appeared to be some kind of sticker/adhesive combined with lint, and now my phone shows as if its charging, but doesnt appear to be. I'm thinking one of the pins is probably corroded and need the same board.
Do you think that board is easy to replace or should I just try to get a replacement through insurance?
Hey guys, since yesterday, my i9505 only charges when it is off.
When it is on, nothing happens. When it is on, if i connect the USB to the PC it also does not charge nor recognize any device (not even listed in "lsusb"). The connector is fine, because when i connect a USB OTG cable, and a USB stick, it mounts normally.
Also, from recovery and from Download mode, i am able to use USB cable connected to pc. So, problem is not with the connector.
I have flashed back to Stock, un-rooted, from ODIN. Still does not charge when is on.
It only charges when the phone is off. (Shows the battery icon, with a circle in the middle).
Also, i have tried annother battery too, and different chargers.
Any ideas?
Does not seem to be battery, does not seem to be software, does not seem to be connector, and does not seem to be charger.
obs: it charges when in recovery. (TWRP)
I have the same problem. Got it when going from 4.2.2 stock to 4.4.2 Pac rom.
Going back to 4.2.2 stock did not solve the problem
Any ideas anybody?

Mine was doing the same I changed charging port on my s4 and problem was solved
Yeap!
I changed the charging port too, and it solved.
It was actually very easy to change. I bought the part, and watched a Youtube video showing how to open the device..
Very strange, that it charged when the phone was off..
anyways,
it solved. I noticed that my original OEM charger with original OEM cable is only charging the phone with max 480mA... while, when i use my Tablet charger it charges up to 1500mA...
I know it should be going up to 1900mA or even 2A... but, it is not happening.
Maybe my charger is also faulty
...
at least it is charging now... =D

maybe it is a coincidence... try changing the port. If you have no warranty (like me), buy the part online and change it... it is easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCJcBltgE-I

Phone had been acting up since Monday night . At first it wouldn't charge with the original charger on the wall outlet so I plugged in the USB to my PC and it was charging perfectly fine. Then all was good until yesterday night when it stopped charging on the wall. It started giving me some error about using a sharing cable (wtf?!) Then I figured OK maybe I should connect it to my PC. So I connect it and it wouldn't charge at first but then it did. Then I started looking up for a solution because I need my phone to work ASAP and it charges way to slowly on my laptop. Everyone was saying do a factory reset, remove the battery put bit back in, maybe charging port is faulty . Then I tried using another cable , I used my sisters s4 USB 2.0, connected it to the wall and it sort of gave it power for like 50 seconds then stopped. Now I'm losing patience here, I go back and forth between cables and wall to PC etc I gave up and turned my.phone off for the night. Wake up , plugged in the wire to my PC and the charging icon with the bolt in it comes on for 5 seconds then turns back off and comes back on . This repeats itself and doesn't stop. This happens when the phone is off and is connected to either the wall or my laptop.

Tldr: phone doesn't charge at all. But when turned off, charging logo appears for 5 seconds then comes off and back on and repeats this cycle over and over. Still not gaining charge

Did you try buying a new cable and plug, also what Rom are you on.
Well right now I'm using a different cable and charger block , I'm using this very very small USB 2.0 cablebi had from a old Nokia and my nexus 7 charger block . And it's still not working. And I'm on stock Lollipop , updated my phone on Monday night ! Had the problem a bit before and exactly after the update to 5.0 !
Here is a video

It's your phone indeed, Is your lollipop rom modified in any way or rooted?
It actually WAS rooted before the update! I had it rooted through towelrooot but i unrooted it via supersu so i could install the 5.0 update
So your counter is still 0x0, if so I say take it back to t-mobile or whatever company you bought or you can try buying a wireless charger

SO i have to take it back to my carrier? What if my usb charger COVER fell off? you know the thing that you have to open to plug your usb in and you close when youre done, yeah well that thing fell off the other day and i didnt bring it in contact with water or anything so idk what to do right now
You can find those on amazon for pennies on the dollar
Try cleaning the battery pins on the back of your phone or the battery itself... I experienced the same thing... All I did was file the pins 1 or 2 times and it got fixed. Or maybe try cleaning the USB port of your phone... Base on what you're saying I can say it's just a connection issue that needs cleaning.
